I certainly do not want to > exclude the secondary mirrors. Not reliably, since users and groups are not standardized across all the mirrors. (For example, a 770-mode file on my mirror would only be readable by members of group `mirror', which has only one member, the user `mirror'. rsyncd and cvsupd run under different users and groups.) However, I think it may well be good enough, and the intermediate mirror operators can deal if you give them enough advance notice as to how the release will be handled. -GAWollman
